According to certain
people, most of the prisoners were captured in Afghanistan, and I do believe the States are no longer at war with them. So if they do indeed have POW status, they should have received their fair trials by now.
Does anyone know the truth of this particular fact?
And of course, they are only awarded POW status in accordance with the Geneva convention, but I guess it's pretty hard to determine if they are "terrorists", or "civilians who just screamed a lot, so I got nervous and threatened them with guns" (HUGE exaggeration) if no one in the international community really knows how/where they were captured except the captors themselves.
